	Oh boy, it's Tom Swift and his Diving Seacopter!

	It looked like a stubby flying saucer (or flying
	doughnut) with a large fan in the center.
	It could sort of fly helicopter fashion,
	or move about underwater.

	But the illustrations do not show any kind of
	stabilizer, which makes one wonder why the blasted
	thing didn't spin like a top.
